There could well come times in your games where the situation looks grim, and your force is in desperate need of a Hero. This rule is designed to cover that need - those improbable jumps from the bedroom window onto a horse below, the swinging from chandeliers whilst avoiding hordes of the enemy and leaping bottomless chasms to cheat certain death.

For a character to perform an 'improbable action' they have a base percentage chance, shown on the table below. If they fail they automatically suffer one Wound.

Raw Character
10%
Average Character20%
Experienced Character30%
Veteran Character40%


As with what constitutes an 'improbable action', these percentages can be altered prior to the die roll at the whim and discretion of the Umpire.

So there.
